摘要

Background

Alisma orientale has traditionally been used to treat internal retention of dampness. Nevertheless, its impact on platelet function remains unclear.

Objective

This study investigated the antiplatelet effect of A. orientale extract on platelet activation and its biological mechanism of action. Mice were utilized to evaluate A. orientale’s antiplatelet effects through platelet aggregation, granule secretion, and intracellular calcium mobilization. In addition, its antithrombotic effect was assessed through in vivo arterial thrombus formation induced by ferric chloride (FeCl3). A bleeding time assay was also performed to investigate the hemostatic effect of A. orientale.

Results

We found that A. orientale treatment significantly suppressed glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-mediated platelet aggregation, granule secretion, and intracellular calcium mobilization. These findings were attributed to A. orientale inhibiting GPVI-mediated platelet signal transduction during cell activation. Moreover, oral administration of A. orientale effectively attenuated FeCl3-induced arterial thrombus formation without significantly prolonging tail bleeding time.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that A. orientale may serve as a promising therapeutic candidate for the management of thrombotic disorders.
